I had a time trial today for the 50m Free, got the pb i wanted (25:90). The race felt really good overall and I'm happy with the outcome Positives: Underwaters were good and powerful, breathed only once and good head position Negatives: Staggered the finish, hand entry wasn't the best We take those 💪

Recently i have noticed my team doing flip turns while doing Butterfly kick on their back. Would this benefit them in any way? I just wanted to know because i was always taught to do an open turn while doing anything butterfly or breaststroke (including kick).

Last Saturday and sunday we had hessian Championship in lifesaving (DLRG). Saturday was Single. My First Race was 100m obstscle Swim and I got a 3 second pb . Second was 50m manequin rescue and I also got a 3 second pb .My usually best race, manequin rescue with fins I had trouble and had minus 1 second to my pb. The manequin was slippery and I almost lost it In the End I was third of 27 and very happy about it. Sunday Team comp: My Team did pb in each race We have to do Four relays. In the end we were first, hessian Champions. So we go to German Nationals with out Team. I Hope that I also can Go to the German Nationals for Singles.

The comp started Friday with 200 breast, I swam a 2 sec pb from 2.41 to 2.39 and then 100 free, I swam my pb time (58 sec) and I think I could have done better if I had done a better warm-up. Saturday I tried something new on 200 back: to swim the first 100 easier so that I could kick about 10meters after the first 3 turns, maybe this wasn't good because I felt like I've lost the rhythm and swam 3 sec over pb (2.24). Then 400free I swam 4 sec pb (4.20) even if I could have swum faster the last 3 50's. Sunday I had my last race 200free, I wanted to do the national time (2.03) and did it, 2.02.44 My wins except the times were that I've been drinking water all the time and before 200 breast, 400 and 200free, I did with my coach 50's pacing during warm-up, which helped me a lot.

Hi everyone! I recently had Estonian nationals and everything went pretty good, a few new pbs! I swam 7 different events (minus finals and relays) and nearly died haha but overall well! 50 free- 28.18 in the morning but was able to push it down to a 27.86 (+0.10 from my pb) so not that bad! 200 free- 2.16 (that was NOT the best swim, my backend speed definitely needs work as my last 50 was a 36 😬 but I also felt really slow in the water) 400 free- 4.37 I had hoped to go faster as my short course time is a 4.28 but overall pretty happy to have gone under the 4,40s. My stroke rate was also very even throughout the 400! 800 free- 9.48 I was a bit disappointed in this event as it is one of my main ones and ended up adding 18 seconds to my pb so definitely was not really doing well but I’m not as upset as I did a massive pb two weeks ago in another competition. 1500 free- 18.41 I had no expectations for this race whatsoever as before I genuinely thought I was going to faint or drown before that race but ended up doing neither and had a pretty good PB! (My time was 2 years old so I pb’d by 40 seconds) 200 fly- 2.46 This was such a humbling event for me as fly is one of my better strokes but I genuinely nearly died during this event and can happily say I will never do this willingly again (I did get 50 euros out of it so I’m not comparing!) 100 fly- 1.10 So.. I added around 3 seconds but TO BE FAIR I was distracted as my AirPod had somehow fallen into the children’s pool before my event so I was truly so concerned that it was dead the whole race Overall, 3 pbs and 50 euros is not too bad of a haul! Now to focus on the summer competitions :)
